And in my opinion you are becoming too hysterical. Don't politicians make false promises all the time? Don't they mismanage our tax dollars? Don't other corporation overstate the value of their products? People seem not to get pissed of about that, to the degree they are pissed at VW. Sure VW deliberately lied but that will cause only minor inconvenience in your life. Should you get compensated yes. Free addblue as for as long you own your car and some money for additional time you spend on filling the addblue tank, or if you really don't like the car anymore a buyback at prescandal fair market value. That's fair in my opinion.Nice! I too will only accept those names from my wife! A few on here have drank just a bit too much of the "VW cool-aid" and they're missing the whole point of this scandal.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, should have to change your ownership experience due to VW's lies and cheating. Even something as simple as an extra DEF fill every 4k is not acceptable. I've owned several VW's and I love the brand, but they can kindly go "eff" themselves if any part of this scandal impacts the ownership of my Tdi.
As for me as much as I like driving the TDI what irks me way more about VW is the reliability of their cars. That for me has a way more impact that the fact that car contaminates more than officially stated. I guess my world should be ending because I bought into the advertising of legendary German quality.
At the end of the day VW is a faceless corporation. Its CEO's that lied have so much money in their pockets that they don't have to worry about their future, and some of them have already quit. It is the rank and file employees who fill get punished most by this (layoffs, no pay raises).
(Disclaimer neither I or any member of my family works for VW)
